Handmade Journal No. 9 – cover design

My inspiration for the cover of this handmade journal No. 9 is from this pin on my board, Lotus Pond. As you can see, the lotus remains one of my favourite subject.

So are Rumi’s poems and I have added one that says:

The Universe is not outside yourself;

everything you want, you already are.

The interesting thing is that all the enlightened beings would say this
same thing but we mere mortals won’t get it till we have struggled and struggled and then one day we suddenly see the light, too.
